Today I observed a possible yellow-bellied sapsucker in the same alder tree as the crossbills from yesterday. I am confident of id but posted on ebird as sapsucker sp until someone can confirm. The sapsucker appeared mostly in female juvenile plumage but it was dark and overcast and very high up in alders. Overall lightish brown with white vertical wing patches, splayed uneven tail also brownish, thick bill. It was too high to observe the crown. Hopefully, someone will find it again. A brown creeper was nearby foraging as well.

That alder just behind/along the fence has been rather fruitful these two days.

Happy hunting.
